Valentines Day Tin's

This is one of the Papertrey tins. I cased Becky's idea @http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com by dividing the sections with paper dividers. Filled it with peppermint Patti's, candy hearts, hugs and kisses and M&M's. Embellished with ribbon and a tag.

Smiles and Laughter


This is a printworkscollection stamp called Smiles and Laughter. I stamped the image and then stamped it again on another piece of paper and cut the colored image out to be layered. I then added a strip of red paper down the edge with a pink ribbon. Simple yet classy looking, I think.

Zebra's Are Pink?

This is a Penny Black stamp and I had to get her at Hobby Lobby the other day. She has a giraffe friend and you will see them together in the future. I haven't worked on a card for a month it seems, so it felt good to get back into the rubber and ink at my desk. I am waiting for my SU order to arrive and then I can get motivated and be creative. I will be posting them for you soon.

If you haven't been to Becky's sight at InkingIdaho, you better check out what she has been doing............way cute and you'll want one too.

My Family

My favorite times are when Braydon comes home to for holidays. However, this trip home was short, we treasured every minute with him. Brit said she was bruised from wrestling with her older, much stronger brother....We wish all visiting my blog a Very Happy New Year!!!

Zebra Goodies


This is a zebra goodies package from my husband's secretary for my birthday. The larger piece has a spinner underneath it so it turns all the way around. The box is tea bags and the rest you can see, I think. Love the zebra pen and it is embellished no less.

Purses and Coffee Cards



These are little holiday purses used as gift bags for coffee cards. I got this pattern from Becky @ inkingidaho.blogspot.com and now that I have made a couple they sure are fun. Key to remember is use heavier paper and double sided. Wouldn't a teacher think you were the best getting one of these?

Cookbook







This is a cookbook I made for my mom for her birthday. I have missed placed the name of this scrapbook paper, but I think it was Teresa Collins. It is a 12X12 piece of paper with the recipe words and I just added and embellished where I felt it needed a little something more. I also used ribbon and the bind it all and scallop punch.

Twirp Placement Cards


We hosted Twirp ( the formal dance where the girl invites the guy) Dinner for our daughters Senior Year at West High. I knew I had to have something stamped everyone would expect it right. So I printed these on raised business card and stamped them with zebra stripes. They were the perfect touch to each place setting.

Grrrreat Under the Stars







Ok when they demonstrated this set at Convention I know I had to have it!!!! This little bear is so cute and fun to work with. I put him around a candle and on a box of chocolates that was invested with mosquitoes. He is "hiding" behind a "bush" made with the scallop punch....
